Banger: An Office Romance Page 5

  Chapter 9

  Ellis

  I moaned into his mouth as he leaned me back, his tongue delving deeper as his long and ridiculously thick cock pushed between us. His hips danced against mine as I clutched at his back, preparing for his first intrusion. My heart hammered as I thought about him, about us, right here and right now. He was every walking, talking fantasy I’d ever had and never dreamed existed. He was pressed against me, wanting me, and I was desperate to give him every last piece.

  “Relax, baby, we’re going to do this slow.” His breath washed across my skin and sent tingles exploding through me.

  I willed my breath to slow as I trailed a hand over his bicep, my fingertips following that intricate dragon tattoo. The ink had been etched with thoughtful precision, wrapping around his elbow and down his forearm. He was so beautiful, so different from anything I’d expected and so much better.

  I nearly chuckled when I thought of the man I’d interviewed with, in his navy suit, crisp button-down, and elegant striped tie. He was so intimidating. The way he dominated a room sent butterflies crashing around my rib cage, but this man... this man with the filthy mouth and the tattoos and the tongue that did… that, he was raw, like a wild animal, starving and desperate to devour me.

  “I’ll take you any way I can get you, but tomorrow night, I want you in my bed.” His words pooled like honey in my stomach, doing their job at relaxing me into his embrace. “And once I have you in my bed, I may never let you leave.”

  I shuddered when he kissed up my neck, his palms kneading my thighs and relaxing me just as his cock pushed past my entrance. I sucked in a quick breath, but I didn’t have a chance to react before his tongue was past my lips, his kiss slow and generous as he pushed inch by slow inch into my body. He wound his hands through my hair, holding my head to his as he thrust with controlled strokes. My muscles adjusted to his size, my nerves tingling with lust and desire after the initial pinch wore off.

  “Tobias, you feel…” I struggled for words, pulling his lips against mine and working my hips more frantically.

  “Tell me, beautiful, tell me how I feel inside you,” he mumbled, his thrusts speeding up.

  “Full, I feel so full.” I grasped his biceps, desperate to feel more. “It’s amazing.”

  “God, you feel better than I could have imagined. So hot.” He gasped as he thrust. “So silky.” He thrust again, his thumb swirling at my clit. “So fucking tight.”

  Serrated groans shredded my lips as another orgasm tore through me.

  “I own all your orgasms, beautiful girl.” His thrusts sped up, his face tightening as his own orgasm loomed. “Every last drop is mine.”

  The orgasm tore through my body as he held me close, his thighs rigid and quaking as he emptied himself into me. My muscles relaxed, and my breathing slowed as our bodies melded together in an overwhelming moment of raw emotion.

  “I take care of what’s mine, Ellis.” He pulled out of me, the slow drag of his cock rubbing every deliciously raw nerve I had. He curled me into his chest and laid us side by side in our nest of clothes on the floor. “And you’re mine now.”

  His hand dipped below my waist and swirled the wetness dripping from between my legs, a mix of him and me, before he rubbed it across my belly in slow, tender strokes.

  “I want you pregnant with my babies.”

  His words slammed into my stomach, making it twist and turn with a mix of emotions. Surprise, fear, excitement. Unbelievable excitement.

  “Do you want kids someday, Ellis?” His throaty voice crawled up my body, lighting me on fire.

  “Yes,” I murmured, weaving my fingers through his. Love. This was what love felt like. Warm and comforting, safe and satisfying on a soul level.

  “Good, then that’s settled.” His reckless grin launched rockets through my nerves before he pressed my knuckles to his lips and kissed them one by one. “Now for a ring.”

  “Tobias!” I laughed, pulling my hand from his grasp. “Moving a little fast, don’t you think?”

  “Not when I’ve been waiting a lifetime to feel the way you make me feel. From the moment I saw you, you have never left my mind. I want to roll over in bed at 2 in the morning and find your lips. I don’t want anyone else to have you in their arms, because you will be too busy being wrapped up in mine.” He said the words so simply they swept the breath from my lungs.

  “I think you’re amazing, this is amazing, but—”

  “No buts between us. I told you you’re mine, and I know it more now than ever. I know you're new at this—”

  “New? I was a virgin when I fell into this closet!” I laughed.

  “I’ll spend every moment of every day making you happy, Ellis. And I can make you very happy.” One fingertip danced around my nipple as he spoke.

  I grinned, wanting desperately to fight him just because I liked to get him riled up too, but there wasn’t a thing I could say. He could see right through me. He knew I liked the things he said; the blush on my cheeks and the smile on my face only confirmed it. I wanted to be his. I wanted to have his babies. I wanted to wake up with him every morning and curl into his warm body every single night.

  Suddenly a whole lifetime next to Tobias Banger was unfolding, fear melting away to blinding happiness. I trailed the tips of my fingers across the sharp V of his pelvic muscle, watching as his cock twitched with pleasure. “You're a confident man, Tobias Banger.”

  “For good reason.” He pulled me on top of him, sliding his dick against the warmth between my legs before pulling me in for a soul-crushing kiss.

  I wanted Tobias Banger more than anything, but what would happen tomorrow morning when the rest of the office found out?

  Chapter 10

  Ellis

  I woke the next morning curled into Tobias’s hard, warm body, his hand tangled in my hair as he held my head close to him. Wrapped around him like a pretzel, I’d never felt so protected, so whole, so unbelievably fucking happy. I’d been waiting for this moment, that down-deep-in-my-gut, can’t-live-without-you moment. Looking at Tobias now… it was him. It was now. I was sure.

  Tobias hummed in his sleep, pulling me closer to his body, pressing my head against the steady thump of his heart. I sighed, unable to keep a blinding smile from tearing across my cheeks. I adjusted again, my back stiff from sleeping on the closet floor.

  Tobias had done his best to make a nest out of our discarded clothes, but it’d been a pretty uncomfortable night sleeping on the floor, even if I did have the most beautiful man to ever fill out a suit curled up next to me.

  “Morning,” Tobias murmured, his lips caressing the shell of my ear.

  “Hi,” I whispered, my eyes holding his.

  “You’re even more beautiful first thing in the morning. How do you do it?” He slid the pad of his thumb across my lips and smiled.

  “Maybe it was the exercise last night.”

  “I think it’s because I look good on you.” He dipped his head closer. “Or in you.”

  One palm slid down my body, cupping between my thighs and sliding two digits through the damp flesh of my pussy. “Everything about you calls to me.”

  “Tobias…” I groaned as he hooked two fingers inside me, his thumb swirling frantic figure eights around my clitoris until an orgasm built hard and fast in my core. “Oh my God…”

  Tobias’s hand sped up as I clamped down on my lip, watching his gaze eating up my writhing form. My muscles tightened, and a thousand bolts of lightning shot through my body in delicious waves. My heart thundered and racked my chest when he crushed his lips to mine, his hands shoving into my hair as his tongue fucked my mouth so furiously I knew I was owned.

  Tobias fucked me hard and fast in every way. And when I’d least expected it, he’d stolen my soul too.

  “I love making you purr first thing in the morning.” A rogue grin turned up one corner of his mouth.

  “You’re such a cocky bastard.” I pressed my thumb against his soft lips before p
lanting my mouth there, showing him everything I couldn’t yet bring myself to say.

  Suddenly, the sound of voices tore us from our bubble.

  “People are here,” I said.

  Tobias’s eyes hovered on mine. I couldn't quite place the thoughts flying behind his eyes, but the emotion that burned in them was intense. “We should get dressed then.”

  But he didn’t move, our bodies still twined together.

  “Yeah.”

  “Thank you for the best night of my life, Ellis.”

  “The best?” I expected a rakish grin or a cocky wink. But he was serious, the line of his jaw tight, the look in his eyes so hungry I felt as though it ate up the oxygen between us. “I had a good time too.”

  Tobias finally pulled away, taking time to redress me. He slid my bra straps up my arms and a shirt over my shoulders, his hands tender and attentive as if he was savoring every moment.

  “Take the morning off, okay? Go home, get some rest, something to eat, then I’ll call you.”

  I nodded once he’d finished the last button, then I stood, sliding the pencil skirt up my legs. His eyes stayed on me the entire time.

  “I’ll shower in the office, get a few emails out, probably cut out early.” He swiped the scrap of my thong from the floor and pushed it to his nose. He sucked in a breath before shoving my panties deep into the pocket of his pants. “These are mine.”

  “Do you always take a trophy to commemorate your conquests?” I asked.

  “No conquest, Ellis. You’re the trophy. I’d just like the reminder of what you smelled like the night I took your virginity.” He stood and pulled his wrinkled white shirt over his shoulders, his grin oozing charm and confidence. “I’ll call you later.”

  His palms wrapped around my neck, his thumbs grazing the line of my jaw as he held my face and kissed me. I ran my hands through his hair, so calm and at peace in his embrace.

  Tobias was my everything, and it’d taken just one night to prove it.

  “Should we start banging on that door?” I finally murmured.

  “I have to tell you I really don’t want to.” He caught my lips again. “I want to stay in here with you all day, fuck until we’re exhausted, then do it all over again.” His fingers threaded through mine, and he placed delicate kisses on each wrist.

  “You've got a way with words, Mr. Banger,” I teased.

  “You've got a way with my heart.”

  His words hung heavy in the air, filling me and thrilling me with their promise of things like love.

  “You need to eat.” He tipped my chin and planted a soft kiss on the tip of my nose. “You need sustenance for what I have in mind for you later.”

  My heart dropped between my feet, and I couldn't help the silly smile that pulled at my cheeks. He wanted to see me again. Tonight.

  “Leave your phone on. I'll go insane if I can’t get ahold of you.”

  “Okay.” I grinned again before he placed one final kiss on my lips then turned to the door.

  In three resounding thumps, he broke the bubble we’d found ourselves in for the last twelve hours.

  Within a minute, the door knob was rattling, then the bright light of day was streaming into our little eight-by-eight slice of unexpected heaven.

  Jenny’s eyes widened in shock when we stepped out, Tobias’s hand locked with mine. Her eyes darted from it to our faces then back again.

  “See you later, sweetheart.”

  Tobias placed a kiss on my knuckles, giving me a quick wink, before he let go and sauntered down the hallway toward his office.

  “Well… looks like you had an interesting night,” Jenny said, eyebrows in her hairline.

  “Yeah…” I sighed. “To say the least.”

  I walked back to my desk, swiped my purse and phone, and headed back for the elevators and home.

  Everything about last night was surreal, from his touch to his lips to his words. In the bright light of day, making us work suddenly felt a thousand times more impossible.

  But apparently he wasn’t willing to hide anything that had happened. Tobias was all in.

  After a long, hot shower that relaxed away the sore muscles and washed away the scent of Tobias, I lay in bed, checking Facebook and Twitter on my phone and unable to get a single moment’s peace. My mind raced with thoughts of Tobias, memories of our night together, obsessing over what he may have planned for tonight. I loafed around the house for hours, every muscle in my body aching with the remainders of his palms pressed against my skin. His lips sucking on my nipples. His teeth… everywhere.

  Tobias Banger had me caged and consumed, and never in my life had I been the girl who fell easily. Tobias had charmed his way into my heart with that reckless twinkle in his deep eyes, the way his lips twitched with amusement when I made a sassy remark. Escaping Tobias’s touch would be all but impossible. As if I even wanted to.

  Restless, I finally settled in front of my computer and answered a few emails I’d been putting off.

  I CC’d Tobias and hit Send on an inquiry letter to one of the charities we’d selected, anxious to get the charitable giving program off the ground.

  My phone dinged with a text message almost instantly.

  You should be resting.

  Tobias.

  I grinned as I typed out a message. Stop hovering, bossy pants!

  Hovering is my job. I love bossing you around. See you in ten. Came his reply.

  Leaving? Tobias, it’s 3pm! I texted back.

  And waited. Nothing. I began to wonder if I’d misunderstood his meaning. He had no reason to come to my place. I’d been silly to think that was what he’d been referring to.

  Just as I was preparing to send another email, the buzzer at my front door rang.

  Oh God.

  I padded out, released the lock on the door and waited for him to come ambling down the hallway. I crossed my arms and leaned against the doorjamb when he came into view.

  “I need to stop underestimating you.”

  He wore a new suit, a thin navy tie contrasting against the crisp dress shirt. He looked delicious enough to eat.

  “The day I stop surprising you is the day I fail at being everything you deserve.” He dropped a kiss on my lips. “Now get ready. We’re going out.”

  I smiled against his lips when he tapped at the curve of my ass with one warm palm. “Yes, sir.”

  A raw growl was his only reply. I spun, giggling when Tobias’s fingertip slipped under the waistband of my pants, threatening another assault with those deft fingers.

  “On second thought, I like you better naked.” In a swift move, he pushed my pants over my hips and down my thighs.

  “Tobias!” I squealed, kicking them off, then I backed away, enjoying the hungry way his eyes inspected my body like a predator watching its prey.

  I really liked being Tobias’s prey.

  I grinned when I reached my bedroom, then I darted around the corner and landed in the mountain of blankets in my bed. Tobias's heavy body followed me. His hands trailed up my waist, palms kneading my breast beneath my shirt, fingers sliding against the heat of my pussy through the thin fabric of my panties.

  “I want to sink inside you right now,” he said at my ear, his chest pressed against my back and one hand between my legs.

  “What’s stopping you?”

  His hand swirled, and my legs turned to jelly, my breathing ragged and desperate.

  “Mm…” he hummed, pulling his fingers from my body and slipping them into his mouth. “Feeding you.”

  “Tobias…” I groaned, the orgasm fizzling away just as quickly as it’d come.

  “Patience prolongs the pleasure, beautiful girl.”

  “Patience is agony.”

  His laugh filled the room. “That means I’m doing it right then.”

  I grunted, spinning around in his arms, and planted a fierce kiss on his lips, dragging my teeth along the bottom one and grinding my body against his solid cock. Tobias’s breathing tur
ned labored, the darks of his eyes burning with unfiltered desire.

  “You know just what to do to drive me insane.”

  “Guess I'm doing it right then.” I chose that moment to duck underneath his body caging me in, and I sprinted across the room and into my walk-in closet.

  A frustrated growl was the only reply I got.

  Chapter 11

  Tobias

  “You look absolutely fucking edible tonight, Ms. Ford.” I slipped her hand in mine and escorted her from my Porsche Spyder.

  “I’m glad you approve. My incredibly demanding boss picked out this outfit for me,” she shot back, eyes twinkling in the evening light.

  “He’s a man of good taste.” I landed a kiss across her knuckles before closing the door behind her and sliding my keys to the valet.

  “Welcome home, Mr. Banger.”

  I nodded, pressing a hand against Ellis’s back as I escorted her through the opulent lobby of my building. I hadn’t brought a woman home with me ever. In fact, other than the odd business dinner here and there, I made a practice of not dating period. I’d learned early in life that things like love and lust could fuck with your head, derail plans, and leave you high and dry.

  The day I’d turned nineteen and woken up after an all-night bender with three beautiful college girls I didn’t know, I’d bailed hard and fast, and I hadn’t been with a woman since. More than fifteen years had gone by. I’d thrown myself into building one of the fastest growing startups in Chicago, and I’d never spared a woman a second glance. Until Ellis Ford came to work under me.

  “So why the fancy dress if we’re just going back to your place?” Ellis pulled me from my thoughts.

  I nudged her into my body, punching the elevator arrow before I responded. “Because seeing you in this dress makes me want to tear it off you with my teeth.”

  Ellis’s eyebrows shot into her hairline, her cheeks burning a sexy shade of red. The elevator door whirred open, and I escorted her in with me.
